Heyyyyy worrrrrrllllllddddd!!! What’s up out there all around the globe? Life is good for us in O-town these days. We’ve won seven in a row and we’ve been able to get some rest in games because our entire team is playing so well right now.
Patience was a hard thing for me to learn early in my career because I wanted everything to come to me right away. But I’ve learned that if you stay consistent and keep working, good things will eventually happen.
I told people earlier this year when we kinda hit that skid on the West Coast that we had to be patient as a team. Everybody acted like we were the same team that got to the Finals last season, but we’re a totally different group. We’ve got five new guys and it just took us time to mesh.
Now, you can see those parts fitting together. VC is playing well, Matty Barnes is giving us that edge on the wings, B-Bass is getting some run, J-Will has that ring and knows how to ball and Ryan Anderson is going to help us again in the playoffs.
We want to be peaking in the playoffs, and we’re getting there now. It just took some patience. Y’all see, your boy is learning even though I’m still one of the young guys on the Magic.
I feel bad about what happened to my guy, D-Rose, in the Bulls game last night. We spent a lot of time together last summer going to China on that adidas trip, and I really think my guy is gonna be a star for a long time. But as it turned out, he got hurt in both games we played against the Bulls when we met at the rim.
As a big man, you never try to hurt anybody when they come down the lane. Me and Derrick are cool. I think he’s a great player and a great person. I never want to see him get hurt. But I always tell him, that if you come down the lane, always come off two feet. That way you’ll be on balance. You come off one all it takes is for somebody’s body to hit you and you’re going to fall.
It really upsets me when people say that I tried to hurt him. Like I told fans on twitter, why would I try to hurt one of my friends? That just doesn’t make any sense!
I hope he gets better and that there’s nothing seriously wrong with him. The last thing I would want to do is hurt anyone, especially one of my good friends.
Not sure if y’all got to see it or not, but your boy is on the cover of Men’s Health mag this month. Just trying to show off them guns that I worked so hard to build up. lol. The way I look at it is I work hard on my body to make myself a better player and I’m proud of it, so I kinda of show off for those magazines. And maybe somebody seeing me taking care of my body will inspire them to get in the gym or on the treadmill and stay healthier.
We shot the pictures for that article back in December when we were in L.A. to play the Clippers. Every trip top L.A. is usually a busy one, and that one was wild. And it was the day before my birthday!!! But the pics turned out good, especially the cover one where I look all swole up!!!
If you can snag it, look at the magazine and let me know what you think. Drop me a line on here or hit me on my twitter, facebook, superfan and renren pages.
I’m out y’all.
